I'm disgusted and disappointed in NC, yet again you have failed 5 innocent children! 😔 In Harnett County, NC, Joshua Gilliam-Lynch & Ronald Wayne Lynch a married male couple who adopted 5 boys and featured them in LGBTQ activism, are now charged with creating CSAM and sexually abusing the children. Victims include a 15-year-old and a 6-year-old. 😔 An earlier tip was ignored. Figures. These boys deserved real protection. Same-sex married couples don’t get to fast-track their way to adopting multiple young boys while nice, stable heterosexual couples wait years and face intense scrutiny. Why? What’s happening in NC? We used to be a conservative state with strong family values. Not every person is an abuser, but major research (like the New Family Structures Study by Regnerus) shows children in same-sex parent households reported much higher rates of sexual abuse by caregivers compared to intact biological mother-father homes. When two grown men rapidly adopt 5 vulnerable boys, rigorous vetting, thorough home studies, and ongoing monitoring aren’t optional, they’re basic child safety!! The system failed these kids. Children are not activism props or checkboxes. Demand evidence-based adoption reform and better oversight for ALL placements. Prioritize the most vulnerable.

This is a non-story for me but Byrdie was upset last night when he found out some took his sign off after his Yaz interview as insulting to the player. He and I were talking past midnight last night working through it. He felt terrible. Yaz wasn't offended, quite the opposite. You'll see that by the sign of affection he gave Byrdie at the end of the interview and what you'll hear Byrdie share in the video below. Byrdie is a champion of players and wants to bring their stories to you with the greatest appreciation and perspective that he can. That is what last night was. Byride is not on social media but he wanted to share his thoughts with Braves Country. He is a sweetheart of man, friend and teammate, we are lucky to have him.
